If you just want to hook up the computer you can - network them (string an Ethernet cable between them) - then on the mac hit cmd + K (or finder menu bar at the top of the screen, Go > Connect to server) and type in smb:\\ip.of.windows.machine

hit connect and it should ask you for authentication. Type in your account on your windows box password and it will then mount the drive or the share on your desktop.
